Star Alliance Award Search Tips

[sillypainter]

I have a biz ticket on UA w/ one leg in economy, and I'm changing it now a week b/f the flight to be in Biz. UA is telling me there is a 75 fee. Seems to be incorrect. Thoughts?

Change it online for only $50.

I was searching for LH F or J award availability on UA and when I made the destination direct(eg nyc-tlv) there was only economy available but, when I did the same destination via muti-city(eg nyc-lhr-tlv) and adding a destination there was J availability. Is there a way to book the J seats without going muti-city?

Sounds like you are searching different routes so it makes sense that the availability is different.

Thanks for the offer.
We are already on the vacation, I didn't want to spend the time HUCAing (didn't see your offer till it was too late), and my parents can afford it.

Its easier to book with them a LH flight - not showing on UA.com (blocked for partners) than a UA flight available in UA saver.

SQ reps are in Singapore.
UA saver is sometimes (most...) In I"N".
SQ has a special deal with M&M regarding their premium space (SQ can book LH F and MM SQ Bus).

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give you an early heads up about an upcoming change to the Star partner award availability you see displayed online. Singapore Airlines and United have agreed to remove Singapore Airlines inventory from our award flight search results on united.com and on the United Mobile App. This will take effect starting tomorrow, December 13, You will still to be able to book and change award reservations involving Singapore Airlines by calling our reservations lines.

Please let me know if you have any clarifying questions, and I’ll do my best to answer them.
